| sinopsis | In the work of Rita Maria • Filipe Raposo improvisation acts as a key element by linking seemingly distant musical genres. The musical influences that have shaped them artistically – classical music, jazz and traditional songbook – end up cohabiting in their own territory. With the album series “The Art of Song”, they seek to explore the common link between these three major reference matrices for their artwork as a duo. Through the interpretation of Baroque arias and original compositions, the audience of Gouveia Art Rock festival will be able to perceive the formal similarities that the Baroque and Jazz genres have: cyclic forms, low cipher – figures in which the harmonic structures in both genres are grounded – powerful DNA melodies that Rita Maria and Filipe Raposo cherish in their emotional memory. |
